Below is the Swedish text from two postcards from my great-grandmother. The first had a picture of my great grand-mother and her children in Sweden as sent to her son in Canada. The second was the picture of a hotel in Ånn. Any help in translating would be appreciated.

Linda, this is a translation of the first one: Best son Karl, you will have a photo of us, but it was so bad taken, so we look much uglier than we are in real. I look like as I was fifty years old. We will have another better one and also aunt och uncle will have one.

And this is the second one: To ”The Girl” Marta Halén, Hägra, Krokom I will send you a card so that you can see that I am well, but it is so lonesam because I am alone the others are in the woods. I guess you have got a card from the boys, the trip to Gothenburg was getting well för them. Above and at left side: Write to me so I will know how you are. Your mother
